\"\"<\/a>Dinner last night was low-carb. We are attempting to limit our carbs for a few days this week leading up to Friday’s Carb-Loading dinner! Let me just say, I absolutely hate the concept of a Low-Carb diet. It’s so frustrating. There’s carbohydrates in everything: fruit, grains, oatmeal! I think I’ve officially said “Whatever” to the idea of limiting them this week.<\/p>\n

For dinner I made chicken with pesto on it (Pesto only has 3grams of carbs). I tossed the chicken pieces (see above picture) and then put them on a foil-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I baked the chicken at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. It turned out a tad dry. I would make this recipe again but I’d do at it 375 degrees instead.<\/p>\n

I made a salad and steamed some broccoli as our sides. The salad was:<\/p>\n

Baby Spinach<\/span><\/p>\n

Cucumber<\/span><\/p>\n

Craisins (yes, they have Carbs, grrr!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil and Balsamic Vinaigrette<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And I had a glass of wine. Yes, I know there are carbs in wine. I didn’t really care at this point. I really don’t understand how people can survive without carbs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

My Favorite Wine<\/p><\/div>\n

I topped the baked chicken with some Mozzarella Cheese. We realized we didn’t have any Mozzarella so Michael brilliantly grabbed a few of the string cheeses he bought from Costco and cut them up. Worked great!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dinner was tasty. I enjoyed the chicken, even though it was a tad dry. There’s just something wonderful about the pesto-Mozzarella combo!<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s post <\/a>turned out to be a hot topic!<\/span> So many people had wonderful suggestions about shopping and buying clothes during weight loss. One thing I forgot to write about was that my SHOE SIZE also changed! For as long as I could remember, my shoe size was 8 1\/2. When I lost weight I was suddenly not fitting in 8 1\/2 shoes. For a short while I went down to a size 7 1\/2! I didn’t stay at that size for long, though and I’m now a size 8. It was definitely a strange happening. I had never heard of losing weight and losing shoe sizes!<\/p>\n

Since I had pretty much given up on limiting my carbs, I made Oats for breakfast. I tried a new kind today. It has Oats, Barley, Wheat, and Rye!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Oats, Barley, Wheat<\/p><\/div>\n

I mixed in some protein powder, Benefiber, and brown sugar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve been sniffing and sneezing since this weekend. I think it’s allergies. But just to be safe, I drank a raspberry Emergen-C.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While I was waiting for my oatmeal to cook, I snagged a few strawberries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Gimme Carbs!<\/p><\/div>\n
